Some bands form, and they keep going for many years. The Manhattan Love Suicides were never about that. We were never career driven; we just wanted to make an impact, like 4 sticks of dynamite thrown into a stale music scene. And in our own way, we did what we set out to do. The music remains, and that is the most important thing. We're all very proud of how much we did in the short time we existed. The last thing we ever wanted was to become stale. End it while it's still fresh. While it's still vital. While it still counts.
